it does get a bit warm [especially if overclocked], and none of the processors used in the modern palms have any tempareture sensors.

I just hoped a relatively slow processor like those found in Palm devices (not only ARM by the way) doesn't become as hot as a Pentium. I may be wrong, but if I can't get that data, your guess is as good as mine. -- Luc Le Blanc -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
